In making investigations of this family among the published genealogies of the United States I found it was one of the comparatively large families whose name appeared often in early records but one for whom no one person had ever prepared a complete report. A number of New England genealogical correspondents have stated that the history of the Rhode IslaDd Kenyons was a riddle no one had dared to start unraveling, due to the many contradictions in published references and to numer­ ous intermarriages among themselves.

CENTENARY BY ALBERT HUMPHREYS To mark the hundredth year of our Society, which we believe is the second oldest Microscopical Society in Great Britain, it was resolved firstly, to have a Summer ramble over the same ground as the first ramble mentioned in our records, which was in July 1867 and secondly, to end the season with a dinner. Both these events were a complete success. We are proud to record that the Summer rambles whose object is to collect specimens and make records of the fauna and flora, have continued every year for nearly a century.

  • The Ordination of Priests
    The Ordination of Priests The Bishop of Manchester Manchester Cathedral The Bishop of Bolton Bolton Parish Church The Bishop of Middleton Oldham Parish Church Sunday 4 October 2020 Welcome to Manchester Cathedral Ordinations during the pandemic Ordinations are times of great joy, not only for those being ordained, but for the whole Church giving thanks to God for the ministers he has called. That joy is undiminished this year, but sadly cannot be shared by a large congregation. Government regulations, rightly concerned to protect everyone’s health, limit attendance to 30. Those present at the service are therefore representative of many others who are today praying God’s blessing upon those made priest, and who look forward with expectation to their new ministries. It is not only numbers which are limited in order for today’s service to be “covid secure”. For instance, there can be no singing. Those attending are also required to observe the following: • face masks are to be worn at all times (except when receiving Communion); • hand sanitiser is made available to be used on arrival and departure; • the congregation must remain seated in their allocated places; • all direct interaction is to be avoided with those not in your household or bubble, maintaining a two-metre distance; • Communion will be distributed in one kind (i.e. bread alone): hand sanitiser will be available, and must be used should there be accidental contact with the hand of the administer of Communion • the congregation should leave directly after the service, maintaining a two-metre distance and without interacting with others inside or outside, taking this order of service with them.

  • What's Doing Issue
    20p ,, WHATS DOING MARCH 1991 CY THE MANCHESTER BEER DRINKER’S MONTHLY MAGAZINE PUB U N D E R THREAT T h e Tallow T u b on Chapel Street, Salford, is under threat from a development o f t h e Cock Street Brewery s i t e . The listed parts of t h e brewery will be safe, s o the new development will include the tower a n d t h e Cook Street facade, b u t m u c h of the remainder will disappear. CAMRA did a s k f o r t h e T a l l o w T u b (originally t h e Queens Arms, below) itself to be listed but unfortunately the inspector looked only at the exterior which had been progressively bastardised by Whitbread during their ownership. The building today, with its bricked-up doors, canopies and inappropriate signage, is somewhat unprepossessing. Had the inspector ventured inside, however, he would have observed that the pub retains its original floor plan and that the unspoiled interior features are unique in Salford — impressive tiling throughout and a glass screen between the vault and the rear room. It is these interior features (rather than the tatty exterior) which could be restored at minimal cost, which make the pub worth saving. The Tallow Tub occupies a tiny area of the development site and would, because of its main road position, probably be replaced by grass and railings. It dates back to 1802, is a building of character and could form a focal point for the new development in an area which will, given current proposals, be underpubbed.
